These supports are designed tosupport the legs of the person and they are hingedly fixed to the sideparts so that they can be lifted if the water closet C has to becleaned. The vertical side parts are connected at the upper end by ahorizontal board A, the front end of which is cut out to form a supportfor the back. Upon this curved part of the front edge of the board A aback 3 is fixed and a movable back 4 is pivotally mounted upon the axles5 in such a manner that it 7 can be lowered from the upright positionshown in Fig. 1 to the position shown in Fig. 2. In the position Fig. 2the back 4 is situated under the horizontal board A and in such aposition that it can serve as a back support for a child seated upon thehorizontal supports B.
